# Hands-Free Headstand Photography Anton Charushin is Captured in Gravity-Defying Poses By Meghan Young | Published 2015-01-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handsfree-headstand References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/371452/Photographer-Does-Hands-Free-Headstands-In-Beautiful-Places-Around-The-World/) & [instagram](http://instagram.com/stolbyshkin/) Hands-free headstands are impressive in and of themselves. Captured around the world in stunning locations and they are even more awe-inspiring. As though trying to one-up the [Naked Handstander](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-handstander), who made waves on the Internet a few months ago, the hands-free headstands are performed perfectly by photographr Anton Charushin. Although he keeps his clothes on, the images look even more surreal than the previous project. A former breakdancer, the hands-free headstander was inspired to create this series after desiring something different from“the same old ‘me-and-something-beautiful-in-the-background’ photos." All Charushin requires is a small flat space for his head and a friend to wield the camera. Otherwise he and his environment does most of the grunt work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hands-free Headstand Photography:** Opportunity for innovative photography techniques that capture gravity-defying poses and stunning locations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sports and Fitness:** Potential for incorporating hands-free headstands as a unique exercise and yoga practice. - **Travel and Tourism:** Opportunity to promote hands-free headstand photography as a new trend in travel photography and destination marketing. - **Event Planning:** Possibility of incorporating hands-free headstands as a unique and captivating element in events and entertainment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Single-Axis Stabilization Gimbals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cliquefie-sway.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio.md) - [Warped Georgian Townhouse Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-week-at-the-knees.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Modular Quad-Function Tripods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-tripod.md) - [Innovative Camera Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-camera-carrier.md) - [Digital Display Headphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/led-headphone-stand.md) - [Artfully Balanced Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halfway-serious.md)
